Hi All,
We are currently trying to do a document comparison by comparing the
active document with a file on an FTP site. When doing manually,
everything works great, but when when I record the action, and attempt
to use the macro, we get Run-time error '5273'. The macro takes the
following form:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 12/2/2003 by NormanJD
'
ActiveDocument.Compare Name:="ftp://1.2.3.4/Compare/test.doc"
End Sub
(IP address changed to protect the guilty)
I have tried variations such as
"ftp://username
[email protected]/Compare/text.doc" and have added the
FTP site along with username and password to the "Save as" list and in
"My Network Places" I am testing this in an environment with no
firewalls or proxies, (will add those later) but anonymous logins are
disallowed. My workstations will either be running Windows 2000 or
Windows XP with Office 2000 and all latest patches for both the O/S
and Office. I've played like crazy with IE settings, but don't think
this will help as it does wotk when I do everything manually, only the
macro fails...
Has anyone tried this or have a solution? Is this a VB/macro bug?
